Hi all, and thanks for all the information I've been picking up. Have all of my gear (or am waiting on the mailman) for my first go at meeting Myc. Luckily I also have a close friend with some lengthy experience to help me along. Will post updates and pics at some point. Thanks again for all the information.
-------------------- This looks fun... Now it's an obsession...

oh... by the way, I'm starting out with bags instead of PF tek... I got a good deal on a lot of the supplies from Flea Markets and my bud has an impulse sealer and mini-greenhouse (Martha) he's letting me use. Plus, got some free bags...
And Doc, is that Boxy I see??

hmm... think I already made a mistake in prep. Went by a feed store (I'm in a super rural area) and asked for rye berry, and got a puzzled look. Asked for rye grain. They had that. I just went and looked at the bag. Is rye grass seed. This a problem?

I would guess you have a lawn mix there. Pure rye should be 100% rye.

RGS is useful for cultivating sclerotia if you ever decide to go that route. You can use RGS for making spawn, but it will not break apart as easily as berries.

Mail man came today. Have been looking through posts and saw some interesting info on Liquid Cultures. Gonna try that as well since I went a little overboard on syringes. Am soaking WBS and cracked corn to see how that works. Will update. Probably pics next time. Hope they are good ones.

Skip LC, go right to agar. You're on the advanced track. Agar flakes from asian market or health store, malt from brewshop, good to go. PF jars are ok as a sub for petri dishes.

An Asian store in my area is more than rare. May take a 23 hour trip to go shopping then. Good concert coming up in that direction.

Yep. You can shoot past the poyfil, and I do, but a silicone injection port makes it easy.

And I don't believe you are 23 hours from agar, PM me your city and I'll google it for you.
